I personally like tolkien fantasy the best. In all honesty I like Fable 2 but I didn't like how guns came into the mix since it removed armor.

ugh tolkien fantasy is garbage. please explain to me how rugged crusty leather armor and fruity elves and overmanly dwarves with a hard on for the earth as staple elements are appealing at all? aside from the fact that every man either looks gay or 40 (oh wait thats not good either)

this post is completely correct
people talk about final fantasy being all about gay-looking guys and stuff, but i can't think of a single thing even remotely related to western-style fantasy that comes close to being anywhere near as good as FF-style fantasy.

And that's not just the japan nerd (weaboo for lack of a better term) in me talking, either.
While I'm not COMPLETELY opposed to WRPGs in the way that chad is, there is only a small percentage of them (1 or less percent) that I'll even give the time of day.

I honestly don't see how people find them appealing, but whatever.
